ABSTRACT This essay discusses the implications of the phrase a “citizen of the world” in the anonymous novel The Woman of Colour (1808), a novel that begs attention for locating moral world citizenship in the mixed-race female body. The essay ponders views of cosmopolitan justice, emphasizing those based on cosmopolitan solidarity. It proceeds by first, historicizing the phenomenon of solidarity within the abolitionist movement prior to 1807; and second, by drawing attention to a process of literalization that debunks skin myths in the name of a shared humanity and in the service of the abolition of slavery in the British colonies that would be achieved in 1833. The essay’s final proposition is to read the woman of colour and her cosmopolitan political catechism in the tradition of Christian allegorical exegesis. This tradition rejects abstraction and guards intact the (interracial) embodiment and historicity of text.

皮肤的教训:有色人种女人中的世界性团结

摘要 本文讨论了匿名小说《有色人种的女人》(1808 年)中“世界公民”一词的含义,这部小说引起人们对将道德世界公民定位于混血女性身体的关注。这篇文章思考了世界性正义的观点,强调了那些基于世界性团结的观点。它首先将 1807 年之前废奴运动内部的团结现象历史化;其次,通过提请注意文字化过程,该过程以共同人类的名义揭穿皮肤神话,并为在 1833 年实现的英国殖民地废除奴隶制服务。这篇文章的最终命题是阅读有色人种的女性和她在基督教寓言解经传统中的世界性政治教理问答。
